itch.io

yes, I know. And the law made is for this kind of websites. It's for websites where the users can upload stuff.  but @leafo  said that it's ONLY for BIG websites. But I dunno where he saw it

yes. it's a stupid law. But the law is the law. I don't find where it talks about "only the big company". Where is it? And... is really itch a small company? Really?! It has too many games and devs to be "small"

no reply?

where are the thresholds? I didn't find them...

the link tax (art. 11) should not be a problem.

But... is itch a small enterprise? Really? it's the biggest website of videogames uploaded by users

Warning. The report button is what the EU DOESN'T WANT.

With this new rules, the EU want that the big copyright owners, check the products BEFORE the upload/public page. If they say "ok, you can pass",  the service provider (itch) can show it. This is the big problem. Or the service provider have to use an IA system. This is the law (saddly).

What is Article 13?

Article 13 of the Proposal for a Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on copyright in the Digital Single Market, is based around the relationship between copyright holders and online platforms, like itch.io, compelling the latter to enforce tighter regulation over protected content ("information society service providers that store and provide to the public access to large amounts of works or other subject-matter uploaded by their users shall, in cooperation with rightholders").

According to the Article, those platform providers have to “take measures to ensure the functioning of agreements concluded with rightsholders for the use of their works or other subject-matter or to prevent the availability on their services of works or other subject-matter identified by rightsholders through the cooperation with the service providers.”

How will you solve it?

Youtube has the same problem, but they are using an AI system to check the videos. this is not possible with a game with a lot of files. And "report abuse" it's no more ENOUGH.
